Exhibition opening

This residency program, exhibition and presentation at the iCommons Summit invites 6 international artists and a critic to produce and workshop both physical and virtual work that engages with fair use, copyright, re-mixing, piracy and/or collaboration on some level - whether directly or indirectly. They will make site-specific work over the course of a week in Dubrovnik, which will then be exhibited there as well as in Second Life, a 3D virtual environment, online. Works on show will include, but not be limited to, art books, murals, net.art, sculpture, public performance, video and installation – all conceptually linked by their engagement with the Commons. Finally, the artists will sit on a panel to discuss Creative Commons and its potential uses and effects in professional arts practice. Participants include: Joy Garnett (USA), Ana Hu_man (Croatia), Kathryn Smith (South Africa), Nathaniel Stern (USA / South Africa), Tim Whidden (representing MTAA, USA), Jaka _eleznikar (Slovenia) and blog-critic Paddy Johnson (of artfagcity, USA).
